ah, ah headlining now police and the canadian capital arrest protest as an attempt to clear their camp. those prime minister just introduce frigates emergency powers court, arbitration for sport blames anti doping agencies for the cale sofa. camilla valley vis december drug test and the harm. it's called the teenage russian athlete and false flag operations and chemical weapons. the u. s. again vividly depicts and the alleged russian invasion with moscow. choosing western politicians of having their heads in the sand and ignoring basic facts with a friday morning at 8 here in moscow, i'm calling bray,

and these are the big stories were across here at archie international 1st to canada. then where police have tried to break up a protest camp in the capitol, making sporadic arrests of truck drivers and others demonstrating against coping vaccine mandates. further am raging. the protest is in the process. we saw 4 van or buses are glowed, all the, all the blue. we saw 6 buses. why not get ready? i, there's over a 100 plus bleeds, large prisoner transport wagons. there's 6 buses getting ready to load guys up, build up symbolizes unlawful operations, unlawful orders. because this is not an emergency actor, no, not at least with you, more levels of parliament. they cannot act on that. they are acting unlawfully an air acting under mud. lawful orders don't protest is resisting arrest. were falsely taken away by offices, several of them pinned to the ground before being coughed. one with protest lead

a chris bob who was also searched before being placed inside a police vehicle round about inter mall to where police chief failure insisted the protest. it would not be useful and that a crack down was imminent. we've been bolstering our resources, developing clear plans and preparing to take action. the action is in imminent. in the past few days, we've been communicating directly with the unlawful protestors. we've told them they must leave, and we have warned them the consequences of disobeying these rules. we will never stop trying to get people to leave our streets. that's exactly what we want them to do. just know that there's a deliberate plan. there's commitment and there's the resources that we now have in place to actually finally end this. the emergencies act that it's now in force is allowed the government to band the rallies and suspend protests as bank accounts for up to 30 days. it's supposed to any be invoked if there's a national crisis or position lawmakers in canada rebranded the prime minister, a dictator for triggering drastic measures over the truck is protest. let's remind

the prime minister this is canada. this is not a dictator. 3 gasoline on embers, things are di escalating as we speak. so why is the prime minister using this hammer on canadians? isn't it true? he's doing it just to save his own political skin. the threshold was met for the emergency. zach i now across the country, the leases of jurisdiction have the tools necessary to keep people say he has politicized his pandemic and divided canadians at a time when we should be working together. when we shouldn't be supporting one another. his lack of leadership has divided stigmatized and traumatized canadians. yes, there have been people who've been harassing and intimidating frontline workers. yes. there are people involved in frontline, illegal blockades. but the vast majority of canadians continue to stand alongside

each other and supported each other. 2 thirds of canadians are united because they want an end to mandates and walk down. this pi minister said there are 4 races misogynist, a fringe, who quote, take up space and he said, shouldn't be tolerated if it's really about the prime minister. taking a sledge hammer to canadian said he thinks are unacceptable. trudeau appears as the protest is of threats, violence, and hatred, and waving racist flags. the media is mostly followed the official line with only a few exceptions. one of them is a radio house kid carson, who quit after expressing school for the truck has he thinks the racism claims or a fabrication aimed at dividing the movement. for the 1st time, canadian people are afraid to speak the truth because we will be labeled as someone who supports hate so. so if you attend a peaceful protest with thousands of people, you go home, you watch the news, and then you see there were hundreds of protesters harassing people in springdale, spreading racist hateful messages. so many canadians,

early brainwashed and then go on attack each other on, on social media. so there's a very strange divide that's happened between us. what relationships are being destroy between co workers and family members and, and friendships. i've been talking to a lot of people on my podcast to our live on the front, you know, grounds of war. this is all happening in ottawa. i do so side of the parlor buildings and they've had their phones face timing with me zooming with me, interviewing people, walking by. and it seems to be all high fives and support from people who even live in the neighbourhood. i'm so the energy is very high. i feel like people are in support of the truckers. there is a massive wave of love and support and i'm in freedom and i think the mainstream media is hiding that and not giving in a voice. and there's a bubbling frustration with canadians who aren't getting their voices heard. i think most people have felt like the government went too far a very long time ago. and i think that this is actually helping to wake people up

to some of the corruption and quite frankly, the craziness that's happening right now. that the idea that our bank accounts could be for hosen or, and i donated to the truckers convoy as well. so my wife and i are saying, well, we're on that list. should we be worried about it because it is such a crazy overreach of government power. i think it's working in the opposite way that adjusting trudeau hopes and it's not. i'm going to have his back down. it's actually waking us up to fight even harder. the canadian government climbed down a pace to have even boasted the dedication of the protest as elsewhere with similar convoys and new zealand where code infections of surged because of the micron variant. people at 10 am to protest in the capital trucks along with tense and food stoles, have been set up around the parliament building with protest. they're renting that 10th. they added looks like the demonstrated at that to stay to through hi police

patrols with offices asking the truck has to stay away from the parliament precinct . they're also threatening to tow away the trucks if they're not move voluntarily. in the straight and state of new south wales, thousands of nurses have gone on strike over poor working conditions and low wages, claiming the health care system was ill prepared for the latest cove. it waste, it had the situation where there was 2 nurses on award where they should be one midwife where they should be many of nurses and midwives having overloaded wards and seems like this. and during that same period, the premier will seem like to be strong. l system has capacity l system is coping. the message from the nurse's beat was during the strike was very clear that they would not typing. and so it was that disconnect the premiums desire to show that the okay system was strong versus the reality view is that the government's

ill preparation for army crime was far worse than any impact al strike will have had i the 1st time health care work is in the region of gotten strike in more than a decade, the demonstrate to say more action will follow if the government fails to meet their demands for pay rises and compensation. if they fall sick. the state premie is agreed to look into the matter. but as things stand, no deals been reached and the health care workers want a 2.5 percent increase in pay a limit of $4.00 patients per nurse and the government to ensure that stafford reimbursed the sick leave. nursing union organizer, michael white says, wages don't correspond with the conditions that forced to work on the because of the state wages policy. here day wages have not kept ice

with inflation. and so many is dying to see their working conditions. not been reflected in the pilot i receive. i think for many years the government has assumed that the workforce was adequate. and what we know is that the workforce numbers were not as good as they should have been. the court of arbitration for sport is blaming anti doping agencies for not processing figure skater camilla leave his test results properly, which in turn hon the athlete and also other competitors. this has been the result of the relevant anti doping bodies failing to ensure that pending cases are resolved before the olympic winter games commence. had that all been accomplished on time and in conformity with the time limits recommended by water. then a decision on the merits of miss will leave us case and her status could have been made well before the game started and before her competition experienced. and that

of other athletes was affected adversely. k, a cost the games and drama forest, and beijing is correspondent, alexia shasky. hi again. i suppose it's kind of a scant positivity for people like camilla valley verb, especially when it comes to things like not having a mental ceremony after all they've gone through in training and their achievement . but one has the c s document said c, as basically gave a detailed explanation when it comes to that decision to allow camila to participate in the game. so i'd like to remind that just earlier this week or the court of arbitration for sports, basically over ruled any protest by the io sea water and the international skating union and decided at camila valley. it was should be continuing in the beijing games and now it explains why the main reason is basically a very strong delay in the doping. a testing camila. i provided that sample on december 25th during a russian championship in saint petersburg. but it came back with

a positive result only on february 8th. well, the court of arbitration for support basically said this is the main reason why what forced their decision. it also said that i believe i had basically no time to prepare an illegal defense to set it earlier, but now it also stipulated that it could be, in fact a technical mistake. let's listen to that. there is a probability that the onsite double aborts re, might have made a technical mistake, which is compatible with the extreme of low concentration in the sample. this is why the athlete will request the analysis of the b sample. so the story gets even murky because 1st of all, it's a very small level off. the band substance, which was found in camila valley was adobe sample, which according to cost, could be that by accident we've seen cases over the past where athletes death the positive for a sudden substance. but then it turned out that it was an accident. it may be just a slight contact with the drug, not

a direct violation or direct or usage of that of that. the d also key as chaos gas was said that basically what it is to blame for all this that should the anti doping laboratory work properly and provided the doping sample earlier. we wouldn't be even talking about this at the olympics. it would have been a case outside of the games and clearly this case poisoned the entire olympics for more than a week journalist. he had talked nothing else about nothing else than can leave a story. all that brush amounting and how despite her guilt is yet to be proved, she may well be innocent, especially after what were heard from the accost, a statement. now, despite all that somewhere finger pointing somewhere open is saying she should not be there somewhere. even calling for disqualification of the russian olympic and me to team and you know, call in i have to say, i watched camille about, he was performance last night and it was no question to me. and many others around

me that all this pressure was something that eventually destroyed her performance. she produced probably the worse performance of her korea in the moment what it mattered the most. she was a step away from winning well at least the silver metal. but everyone was talking about gold, of course she is one of the best figures, kate is on the planet. so definitely all this will continue after the lead begins, there will be investigation, but we all must have it set in stone. now, from the cost that of i leave a will open the be sample and will fight for her innocence, which now has every single chance to be proven. it was disappointing. last, i wasn't it, did she have anything to say about that? i mean, i can imagine talking to reporters, it's the last thing on kimberly's mind, but it's there any indication of how she felt about what happened yesterday? well, it was a flurry of emotions. there i last night at the figure skating events, volleyball seemingly was the calmest one. the silver medalist alexander through. so it was the one very upset and very emotional. but it seems that camilla valley was doing much better now. i spoke privately to the one of the officials that i at the

russian olympic committee. she said she was fine. moreover, she is on her way to moscow now flying on a blind, and hopefully there will be people to meet her and greet her and thank her for what she did, and supporter the words for support for camila oliva. i've been coming from all over the world. now many people expressed, you know, a sense of unfairness about what happens to her. but in this case, it's quite surprising to hear what the i o c. as in thomas bock was saying at the press conference this morning, he was tested with questions about volleyball his conference last for an hour on friday morning in bay jane and the whole hour was dedicated to valley la domus back basically deflected all the questions said that it wasn't the i o c's job to protect a minor. and as we el camino valley was just 15 years of age, she's rendered as a protected person by water's own code. and more importantly, i'm asked about the metal, sorry a for the team figure skating event, which is still in limbo due to the volume investigation, thomas bock said that he met with the us and japanese teams and discussed all that

with them. surprisingly enough, thomas bock decided not to meet with the r o c team, which of course sparks a lot of question about the competency of the whole management when it comes to dealing with things like that. of course i am following the situation close to here . we are expecting some more updates during the day and i will keep you abreast of everything. what's happening in that very twisting story. ok bar. i will catch up with you later for now. there will actually irish chefs, game beijing, thank you. well we've been discussing the issue again with international sports. lawyer, lucien, fellow ne, who's got experience of working with the court of arbitration for sport. it was very important in the decision itself. they did not want to harm these minor more than necessary. it was clear based on the fact that it was a very, very low concentration that just refers on, which is very important to mention. and that makes it likely,

and they were clearing that it makes make is very likely that something that was not the intentional happens. there are a lot of mistakes, but the i o c, of course made the biggest mistake of all of them because they deeds. and they say reschedule or or not scheduled. so when you for team you went and that was that rumors came out of the case and then the 2nd mistake, they read the name. and what is also to be said these that lot of who should protect a correct application of the code of the water code did try to support that these while the code was not correctly applied. and disease also had very bad

behavior, while god to not help athletes even leave the code is not correctly applied. the new predictions on suppose russian invasion of ukraine are coming from western powers with repeated warnings that it'll happen in the next few days. rushes dismissed for the calls hysteria and even keeps that it sees no threat of a full scale operation across the latest developments for a se, daniel armstrong or i was the stuff today that was being predicted. well, we've had a lot of talk about de escalation diplomacy and dialogue over this ukraine situation . there's been more drama information and doubling down, especially in the west. of course, as we saw in west media, they were bets being placed on which day an invasion into ukraine would take place . now we saw on february the 15th february, the 16th it was that even the by the administration said that would be an invasion . it's ukraine, that was reportedly what joe biden actually said. on february 15th,

of course we had, the german chancellor, olaf shalt come again to moscow. top talks vladimir putin just hours before that. russia remove troops from on the board with ukraine. of course, those troops are the source of many an hysterical headline the out in the, in the west with, despite that, hasn't really done much yet to come the west down. of course the, the for rushes, foreign ministry has published that document that responds to the us on the, with their responses to those security demands made by russia. of course, he said they were really pleased with some of the responses that the u. s. had given them, they said there was room for negotiation, there was room for diplomacy. of course, it's a path that russia has always pushed that. but then of course, we see that more to syria in the mainstream media in the west. we've had talks of even chemical weapons, and despite this february 16th day being penciled in a somewhat set in stone in the western media. we're now seeing reports that it will

come later this week at the end of the olympics over in beijing. and maybe even at the end of february, so a lot of a lot of his theory, of course, in the west that despite these promises of the escalation diplomacy being the root out of this tension, i believe that they are a full flag operation with there is no russian invasion of ukraine, which the united states and its allies have been declaring at the official level since on last year. and there are no such plans. so statements about the responsibility of russia for the escalation cannot be regarded as anything other than an attempt to exert pressure. and d, value rushes proposals for security guarantees. of course, russia has been accusing the west of shifting the blame and responsibility on to their side, and by doing that devaluing their security demands. of course,

those security demand cents on ukraine and nato's expansion in eastern europe. it did publish some non negotiable for nato on the west. that was namely to remove that military advisors in so than in eastern europe. and of course, if it does want to push the escalation without excluding ukraine, it does need to stop with military involvement in the country. but there's clearly concerns though, because over the past couple of weeks i don't think i've seen so many world leaders and diplomats going through the revolving door to the kremlin and the foreign ministry to try and talk about this. and if not an impasse, it does feel like it's the smallest of small steps even to this day. oh yes, of course. of course we saw liz truss manual micron and olaf sholtes coming in quick succession to the criminal. each one of them was lined up to have talked to the was, it was reported in the west. of course, russia has consistently denied it. has any intentions to invade ukraine.

what we did see with the un security council meeting just on thursday, where there was more back tracking and doubling down anthony, blinking was one to say, he would be happy if he was proved wrong about russia's supposed, supposed inclinations for an invasion now on ukraine. but it doesn't really seem that way with these reports as it's a chemical weapons we're hearing now that being reported in the west, the dates being switched around. goal post being moved, left and right. of course, we do want diplomacy, which has always said they do want diplomacy and di escalation. it has laid that out for nato in the west, and of course us. but it's just really not seeing it's a security man, it's demands. and it's of course, at the escalations really being respected by the west. our information indicates clearly that these forces are preparing to launch an attack against ukraine in the

coming days, even a real attack using chemical weapons. any further russian incursion into ukraine would be a massive strategic mistake. and a humanitarian disaster to new or any new aggression will have massive consequences and severe costs for russia. europeans are united and we are ready to act in coordination with all partners on this matter. as sure of a russia should be aware that any military aggression against ukraine went into a severe political, economic, and to strategic strategic consequences with you, with attempts to place the blame on russia are futile and baseless. their goal is to shift the blame away from ukraine. i must say that we are very disappointed by the ostrich like position of our western colleagues. try not to see obvious things . donnie wealthy got picked up on this is the, the shades of gray and watched the world leaders and diplomats have been saying some have been absolutely adamant that sanctions will be invoked should be stepped

in ukraine. others are saying lawyer may be in and, and what about russia's position on this? because the idea that russia still isn't being listened to on key things that it wants addressed. but all the same time, still up against this wall of headlines, of course, is something that russia has been continually battling against. that said, these headlines, as we see in the west, that they don't only take a toll on people reading them and take a toll on the people making the decision sig, elaborate, and was one that said this dis, information in the west is certainly taking a toll on himself and he said he would like the western media to publish a list of dates by which he can organize his time off. i'm pretty sure we'd all like a day or fair from this misinformation. and this is the area in west the media. many have been threatening sanctions, disability been this me saying they want the escalation. and diplomacy is the only way out there. they've been say with the other hand that there could be sanctions

before. she even goes anywhere near ukraine. that bush has always said that some of the military drills that it was conducting on the ukrainian border it's, it's suffering right to move troops around whether it be on the board with ukraine or whether it be anywhere else in russia as so as we seeing now in this friday morning in moscow, we will talk to the escalation and dialogue with much more drama. this information to seeing you must, the media side, february, 15th, and 16th from now in february 20th. and let's trust announce that could happen any day. what are convenient method for predicting us? what if, what they are doing isn't escalation, then what even is escalation? in fact, some even seem to enjoy this can't help themselves usually overwhelmed by the desire to get involved in another anti russian campaign. it seems that their sense of superiority and self righteousness has now crossed all the lines. and sadly,

they don't even see where the lines are somewhere. so say a lot of his continually mentioned that these red lines should not appear from the, of course, from nato expanding in eastern europe. he just said that nato's very own self importance crosses lots of lines. he's one that said as it is escalation, he doesn't know when this escalation that will take place because it's not coming from the russian side. he wants a day off from all this. i'm pretty sure we'd like a holiday from some of those headlines about you call it the never ending couple between red lines and headlines is and if anybody could forward plant some breaking news. spoiler, that doesn't work that way, folks. alright danny armstrong, thanks very much for that. all in a think tank wrongly predicted russia would invade ukraine last week is ramping up the rhetoric by accusing moscow. but spreading this information, russian officials have long denied any intention of entering ukraine, dismissing what they describe is made up hysteria in the west. here's where i guess the if you haven't heard about the atlantic council and is arguably one of the most

aggressive pro, valence think tags in the world. that is the de facto thing, tag of nato. so no surprise, they've been at the forefront of this hysteria that we're all sick of. just listen to that deputy director. but in has big we can plans in ukraine. he's going to cut power and heat knockout ukraine and navy and air force kill general staff and hit them with cyber attack. then install pro russian president and resort to full scale military invasion if ukraine doesn't give in. this was last week and just like her previous predictions, no one invaded anyone, but she did her job. she helped mislead countless people and spreads immeasurable fear, panic and, and even terror. and she, she has now been hired by the u. s. government to lecture on russian this information. but what other things can you the u. s. government, european governments,

new ukrainians. do i to combat states foster disinformation efforts coming from moscow? we live in an upside down world. the atlanta council, which is co funded by such organizations as the u. s. military, all manner of west and weapons manufacturers as well as well. johnson, as knew of banks, you would think that with all that money the atlantic council would be a serious organization. analysts and intelligence and tactical teams and strategic teams. no. their predictions of basten feelings and the motions. we have learned emotions running high and i let them get the better of me. i still expect action this week, but putting me drag this out. we still don't know, but i'm line. is that a recognize that i need to be more judicious, her feelings? her heart told her that that bowden was about to cut power to ukraine and, and kill their senior officers a dake out the navy coast, the millions of dollars her organization gets from american weapons,

manufacturers whose stock prices are directly dependent. the public fear had nothing to do with that. similarly, i think she would be against having to disclose that the atlantic council is funded by arms manufacturers in every one of her tweets. she's also against us state funded media, having to disclose such information like voice of america on voice of america had a great reputation trusted. i mean, al, it was the status. does it still have a good reputation and is it blocked in russia? i'm surprised. it was a lot, and there we go, that discussion on russian, this information turns and to dis, information about russia and ridiculous situation comically. but until you realize that these people are advising the u. s. government, european states media outlets. and you can only wonder how much more damage have their emotions done that we don't know about. they produce

a lot of effect on policy making because they determine the debate. so they work to shut out. people with alternative viewpoints are to promote of the dominant narrative. well, it poses a lot of risks, but i think from their point it's a win win. so ah, if there is an invasion, then they look kind of prescient. and if there isn't, they'll all run around something in their chest sane. how strongly are and how moscow back down. because joe biden's such a tough leader. in fact, thomas freeman just wrote a column basically saying that the other day. so they are one of the, i would say major propaganda tools that are used by the, via the security state. and that's the way it looks. so from moscow this hour, thanks for checking in with us to update you. you are 30 minutes away from your

next headline update from onto international. ah ah, join me every thursday on the alex simon, sure. and i'll be speaking to guess of the world politics sport. business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. ah. hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter labelle, talking at cross purposes. this is at the heart of the west narrative,

claiming russia plans to invade ukraine.
